From the moment that the mother goes into labor, the doctors will observe the condition of the baby through a fetal heart rate monitor. If a doctor or nurse fails to identify a lowered heart rate or loss of blood flow, a child may suffer from oxygen deprivation leading to mild or severe brain injuries. If you believe that your child suffered a brain injury causing physical or mental handicaps, you need an attorney to investigate your claim and pursue legal action against all responsible parties.
